Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. There is a slight undulation to each sheet, inherent to the artist’s working method. The edges of each sheet are slightly deckled and there are artist pinholes in the corners of each sheet. There is approximate 3-inch soft crease along the top right corner edge on the right sheet. Under very close inspection of the center sheet, several minor, partial tears are visible in the lower left corner, in the upper right corner and along the right edge. Under very close inspection of the right sheet, a few minor partial tears are visible along the lower left edge. Each sheet is hinged verso to the mat along the edges intermittently. Framed under Plexiglas.
